NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Chicago coach John Fox has lured away the player he drafted in Denver in 2012, per a source involved with the deal. The Bears later confirmed the deal.

Rapoport adds deal is worth roughly $28 million, according to a source involved with the deal.

It's a move that makes plenty of sense for both sides after Trevathan crowed about the Bears during Super Bowl Week, saying: "I believe I can fit in any scheme. Coach Fox is one of the guys that gave me the opportunity to showcase I can fit within the scheme. I'm sure it'll be there, I'm sure we'll end up talking."

Trevathan produced a strong season on tape at inside linebacker for Denver's Wade Phillips-led unit. Paired with Brandon Marshall, the duo finished the year as the NFL's fifth- and sixth-best players at their position, per Pro Football Focus.
